1995 Nissan 2 X 4 Truck XE review from North America
"Timex, keeps on ticking, a reliable friend"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Speed sensor seal caused tranny to leak; had to get new speed sensor and the tranny refilled for 300.00.
Mid-pipe on exhaust leaked, so replaced and new exhaust hangars.
General comments?
This truck was a replacement for a 94 that rusted thru on the frame. The frame on this 95 is solid. I've undercoated it and removed scale rust.
I drive 40 miles a day, and the truck performs like a top.
I wish I had A/C, but the sliding rear window makes a huge difference, as does the power steering compared to the 94. I plan to add factory A/C from a wrecked Nissan at a Pick and Pull.
Gas mileage is variable; with some city and highway, I manage about 24 miles to the gallon. Worth keeping on that alone.
Truck's paint job has held up well. I keep it waxed. I've added chrome wheels from a wrecked truck and it looks just that much better. I've added a cap to it for foul weather usage.
Miles are extremely low for a 13 year old truck; plan to keep it as long as possible.
